Following the movement of the "gilet jaunes" or "yellow vests", whose name was given after the French law that requires all drivers to carry a Gilet Jaune or Yellow Vest. Initially a protest against rising fuel taxes and cost of living the movement has very quickly turned to encompass other social issues particularly the inequality of the French social system under the Macron government, spanning the social and political spectrums across France, and has quickly grown into a movement against the President himself, with many feeling that he is arrogant and out of touch with the French Nation. Every Saturday since November thousands have turned out in the French capital to demonstrate peacefully but often experiencing excessive force from the police, with hundreds receiving life changing injuries, in the worst period of social unrest in France since 1968. The absence of leaders or visible political directions has made the movement unique, spanning the French political and social classes, from the left to the right of the political spectrum, from millionaires to the unemployed, united in their dislike for President Macron and his government’s policies.
